CARS AND ART, presented by Drawing LA and Leen Customs! LIGHT INSTRUCTION ONLY (this is a session, not a class). Hosted by Cynthia Halley & Omar Rehman For car enthusiasts and artists alike! This is a chance to draw unique vehicles in a casual, controlled, and chill environment, with cool people and no pressure. Think figure drawing sessions - but for cars! All you need is a pen or pencil and sketchpad, plus your enthusiasm. No prior experience or knowledge necessary. We will have 1 or two vehicles available to draw per session. Your hosts are Cynthia Halley (Marvel’s What If & Zombies, SpiderVerse) and Omar Rehman (HotWheels, Ford, Nasa). Cynthia & Omar will be on hand to socialize and answer basic questions about drawing techniques and the cars themselves. Why join us? Car shows are tons of fun with tons of great cars to draw, but they can be hot, loud, and tiring. There’s no one guiding the mission, and somebody always stands exactly in your view! Drawing LA & Leen Customs want to provide artists and enthusiasts a chance to draw and and study cars in a comfortable, intimate setting, where you can actually relax, get a little feedback if you want it, and enjoy the company of other likeminded creative folks. Leen Customs is a fun and spunky space in LA’s Car District, perfect for drawing and hanging out. Picture a clean and comfortable indoor garage that opens up to the outdoors, with a lift for the car so we can look underneath, a ramp walkway with two levels for different viewing angles, a gift shop area, and private restroom. Keep in mind this is a LIGHTLY instructed event. Cynthia & Omar will NOT be giving full instruction, but are happy to answer casual questions. For structured classes, keep an eye out for Drawing LA’s formal workshops, which will also be announced here on Meetup & Instagram! Space is limited, so sign up ASAP! We welcome comments and questions! SUGGESTED SUPPLIES:: SMALL folding stool or chair (space is limited) Sketchpad/book/paper Markers or pencils OK to bring Contained watercolor pens or solid gauche NO loose liquid paints Snacks Restroom and water are available on site Plenty of Street Parking FOLLOW ON INSTAGRAM FOR MORE EVENTS: @cynthiahalleyart @youknowitsomar @leencustoms

The Other Side of the Moon: Private Gallery Reception & Artist Talk

Fri, Nov 13, 2:00 AM

From Women of Culture LA

From LA and OC Weirdo Music and Art Forum

Join **Women of Culture LA** for an intimate after-hours evening with artist **Katie Shapiro** and a private viewing of her exhibition, ***[The Other Side of the Moon](https://www.hannahsloan.com/exhibitions/katie-shapiro-the-other-side-of-the-moon)*** at Hannah Sloan Curatorial & Advisory. **[Advance registration required here](https://luma.com/1iy8fpta)** With the gallery closed to the public, we’ll experience the exhibition alongside Katie as she shares the stories, ideas, and personal experiences behind this deeply autobiographical body of work. Throughout the evening, guests will have the opportunity to engage directly with the artist, ask questions, and explore the work through conversation. In *The Other Side of the Moon*, Shapiro pushes photography beyond the traditional image, combining photographs with glass, mirrors, obsidian, jade, and other sculptural materials to explore the spaces between the **seen and unseen, physical and psychological, intimate and cosmic**. Her lunar imagery becomes a lens for considering motherhood, memory, healing, transformation, and the cyclical nature of life. Katie’s work has been exhibited internationally and is held in public collections including LACMA, The Huntington, and the California Museum of Photography. She lives and works in Los Angeles. Drinks and light snacks will be served, with plenty of time to mingle, connect, and meet fellow **Art-full Angelenos** who share a love of art and culture. Come for a special evening of **art, conversation, and connection**—with rare access to both the exhibition and the artist in an intimate setting. *** **Full Schedule:** **6 PM \|** Arrival & mingling **6:30 PM \|** Artist talk & exhibition walk-through **8 PM \|** Close **Location:** Hannah Sloan Curatorial & Advisory 5613 San Vicente Blvd. Please note that parking is avaiable on the street only, so it's advised to allow extra time to find a spot, or take a rideshare. **[Advance registration required here](https://luma.com/1iy8fpta)** **______** **Note about tickets/ RSVP's:** * RSVPs on Meetup do NOT count as official registrations for this event, and the RSVP count on Meetup may not reflect the actual number of attendees.

Sat, Nov 21, 10:00 PM

From Creative Arts & Crafts with Junko - Los Angeles

**Free exhibition tour and artist talks** **Date:** Saturday November 7, 12 pm **Meet at entrance 11:30 am** **Venue:** Wende Museum - A-Frame Theater 10808 Culver Blvd., Culver City, CA 90230 **Free but you must register:** [https://wendemuseum.org/event/visualizing-the-cosmos-science-art-history/](https://wendemuseum.org/event/visualizing-the-cosmos-science-art-history/) ***Visualizing the Cosmos: Science \| Art \| History*** is a panel presented by the Wende Museum and the History of Science Society. **Nobel laureate and astrophysicist Kip Thorne,** artist **Lia Halloran**, and NASA historian **Lois Rosson**, co-curator of the exhibition ***Competing Cosmologies: Interpreting the Sky*,** discuss how visual artists and scientists have inspired each other to build a deeper understanding of the universe and the forces that shape it. History of Science Society president **Soraya de Chadarevian** and the Wende’s Chief Curator **Joes Segal** moderate. How did we arrive at the images in astronomical reference books, and what aesthetic decisions stood behind them? How have scientists developed their work through collaborations with artists? And how have the interactions between artists and scientists changed over time? **Kip Thorne** is an astrophysicist and author. He shared the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics with Rainer Weiss and Barry C. Barish for their contributions to the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) detector and the observation of gravitational waves. Thorne was the Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech from 1991 until 2009. He was a longtime friend and colleague of Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan and a scientific consultant for Christopher Nolan’s films *Interstellar* and *Tenet*. In 2018 he received the Lewis Thomas Prize for science writing. **Lia Halloran** is an artist who often incorporates science and nature to create projects that draw from scientific materials, flying, skateboarding, historical influences, and identities. She has taken part in a wide range of interdisciplinary collaborations with scientists and architects, including a book with Kip Thorne, *The Warped Side of Our Universe*. She lives in Los Angeles, where she is represented by Luis De Jesus Los Angeles, and is a professor in the Art Department at Chapman University, where she teaches painting and courses that explore the intersection of art and science. **Lois Rosson** is a historian of science and technology based in Los Angeles, where she is a field historian in the NASA History Office. Her current book project traces the impact of Los Angeles’s art and special effects industry on the look of the space environment in planetary science and popular culture. She has held the Guggenheim Predoctoral Fellowship at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum and the Octavia E. Butler Fellowship at the Huntington Library. Her work has been supported by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the Berggruen Institute, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Southern California. **Soraya de Chadarevian** is the president of the History of Science Society, an elected member of the European Academy of Sciences, and a Distinguished Professor in the Department of History and the Institute for Society and Genetics at UCLA. She is a historian of science, technology, and medicine with a background in biology and philosophy. Her main areas of interest are the life sciences in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. **Joes Segal** is the Wende Museum’s Chief Curator and Director of Programming. *As this event takes place during museum open hours, guests may check in at the front of the museum. The garden side gate will open 30 minutes before the start time and is available for ADA access and check-in. Theater doors open 15 minutes before the start time. Seating is first come, first served. An RSVP does not guarantee admission once capacity is reached. No late entry.* **Image**: Lia Halloran, *Andromeda, After Mollie O’Reilly*, from the series *Your Body Is a Space that Sees*, 2017, cyanotype, United States.

From Ananda Yoga and Guided Meditation

**Join us for a sacred three-hour immersion to explore the deep intersection of inner peace, meditation, and creative expression.** *In the words of Paramhansa Yogananda, “Creativity is the reflection of the divine craftsman within you.”* This workshop is a warm invitation to our creative family – bringing together our dedicated students, fellow artists, and dear friends. Whether you are a long time creator or simply seeking a space to explore, we gather as a supportive community of peers. Together, we will quiet the analytic mind, open our hearts and anchor our unique creative practices in joy, allowing our inner light to flow freely onto the paper. The design of this 3-hour creative event is based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda and specifically from Art as a Hidden Message by Swami Kriyananda. **Meet Your Guides:** \* Anne Scheid: a professional artist and former Fine Arts professor in drawing, who taught at Fresno City College for 24 years. Anne holds an MFA from the University of Cincinnati. She now dedicates her energy to creating and exhibiting, teaching Ananda Meditation, and co-leading the Ananda Fresno Meditation Group. She brings decades of artistic practice integrated with a daily meditation practice. “Intuition and inner stillness have been my true creative guides.” Website: annescheid.com \* Sansanee Boonyad: Your local LA host, fine artist, educator, and Ananda Certified Yoga Teacher. She holds an MFA in Painting from Laguna College of Art and Design and teaches painting at Saddleback College Emeritus Institute. Her creative work and teaching are inspired by her spiritual practice and her interest in bringing creativity and inner awareness into everyday life. Website: SansaneeBoonyad.com Together, Anne and Sansanee will hold a supportive, harmonious space to help you transcend technique and tap into your own source of intuitive, wisdom, antd joy. **In this 3-hour workshop, we will share hands-on projects that ask, not skill, but a personal sense of adventure, a willingness to explore and try new things and an attitude of openness. Inspiration and how to locate yours will be our search.**

This class is essential for you. Speed up the learning process, “cut to the chase” and enroll in our new Sight Size measuring for the figurative artist and become a “Classical Illusionist” Painting the cast using Sight-Size develops the ability to see shapes and proportions accurately, by continuously comparing the drawn shapes with the cast. This class will develop the accuracy of drawing skills, the ability to correctly judge and paint values, and finesse transitional tones and edges to give the painting the illusion of three-dimensions. The three main objectives of this class: 1\. Drawing \- draw the shapes of the cast in correct proportion\, beginning with the big shapes then the smaller shapes\. 2\. Values\- Learn to correctly judge values by using 5\-7 tone scale which we will mix on the palette\. We will begin by first establishing the three major value relationships: the light shape\, the shadow shape and the background\. 3\. The Illusion of three\-dimensions: Finally we paint the transitional halftones and soften the edges of the form\. This step gives the painting three\-dimensional qualities\, and the form will take the 3D qualities of an object sitting in a space\. These are essential skills to have in your tool box as you move forward to painting portraits, still life, illustrations, etc. **What You'll Learn** Draw the shapes of the cast in correct proportion, beginning with the big shapes down to the small shapes. Learn to correctly judge values by using 5-7 tone scale. Learn to describe how light travels across the form (your cast) Turn and soften the edges of the form. Paint the cast to look like a three dimensional object on the canvas. Learn essential skills to have in your tool box as you move forward to painting portraits, still life, illustrations, etc. Live demonstrations and personalized one-on-one instruction
